First 'Pokémon Go'
update blocks full access to
your Google account data
A day after it was discovered the hit game
Pokémon Go was
requesting full access permission to a user's
Google account data, developer Niantic has released a software
update that resolves the security scare.
Although Niantic confirmed to
Mashable the app was **t accessing the all-ranging
data tied to a user's
Google account and that ** user
data had been compromised — the app only accesses
your Google User ID and email address — many players decided to uninstall the app or use an alternate dummy
account to prevent any possible
data breach.
